over piping ?
I am finding my royal icing is soft , and I am not sure if its from the heat of my hands , or the recipe ? I do know the peak is to stand up ! or is it better to use parchment bag , !

Same with me Katy, I use egg white and icing sugar only. I make sure that all the utensils are free from oil, so I clean all my utensils with hot water then let it cool first before starting to work. I beat the egg white with a fork then when it's frothy I mix the icing sugar using a wooden spoon till I achieve the right consistency. Oil is the enemy of Royal icing so be sure it is oil-free. Please do not use a plastic bowl and plastic piping bag.
Katy Nott said:Gail, I don't know how you make your RI over there, but personally, all I use is egg white and icing sugar. The ratios vary according to what type of consistency you want on your icing. If you want it softer to make it edible (say you're covering a cake in it), then I add glycerine, which stops it going too hard. But for hard piping work, then just the stiff peak consistency. Start off adding a little icing sugar at a time and then beat it a lot, like Linda says. If you get it too stiff, then you can add a little water. I think I may have given you this link before, but it's quite helpful (and she also makes parchment piping bags!).

Try this recipe: 2 1/2 eggwhites and 4 cups sieved icing sugar. Whisk eggwhites with a fork until frothy. Add about a quarter
ofthe sieved sugar an mix well with a wooden spatula or spoon. Add the remaining sugar gradually, lightly mixing after each addition. Continue lightly beating the mixture until soft peaks formed. Further beating will produce an icing of full peak consistency. Undermixed icing will be heavy, glossy and slightly creamy in color.

Sorry Gali I am not good at piping, but you can make some marks on the cake to make straight lines or loops before piping your royal icing.
